Cossatot Falls Campground

We enjoyed our time here. The campsites are very large. There's only 6 campsites. Bathrooms are composting pit toilets so they smell strongly of ammonia plus the lights won't stay on. Other than that we enjoyed our 29th anniversary stay. The river is just a short ways in front of the campsites and provides some great camping scenery to explore.

This place is amazing. The water is swift and fast bit beautiful.if you follow the river down theirs a huge rock u can jump off of water is deep.this place is awesome u can fish and swim and camp and you can kayake too.

We visited from Texas to view the eclipse. The road in is gravel with steep climbs, steep drops, and some tight corners at times. It is recommended to air your tires down just a bit to avoid a puncture. The drive is scenic no matter if you enter from the east or west, but we preferred the entrance near the Cossatot State Park visitor center. The camp ground is well equipped and just feet from the bank of the river. The falls are amazing. Bring water shoes if you plan to swim because the rock bed is a bit sharp is some places. Plan to have little to no cell service in the area since the campground is situated in a valley. If you need to make a call, you can travel about 1/4 mile up the road from the camp in either direction, and the service will come back. All in all, even with the severe thunderstorms, our time at the campground was flawless. Would definitely recommend. We're already planning to drive the 6 hours back really soon because of how well Arkansas and Cossatot Falls treated us!

Awesome Tent site layouts, level and gravel for water run off. You will be 25 yards from the river. Sites have fire pit, grill and trash hanging poll to keep the critters from getting into it. They have 6 camp sites first come first get and it is primitive camping with vault toilet. (FYI) No generators allowed after 10PM to 8AM. Rangers do several drive through checks daily and are super nice and will answer any of your questions. The views are epic and the water is awesome. Be careful in the falls area as it can be dangerous. Bring extra toilet paper as it runs out quick in the bathroom. I recommend hitting the falls area first thing in the morning as the day use people roll in and fill up the parking lot and are everywhere by 12 to 1PM. Then head back to the camp ground and float the river right in front of your site. (if you are squeamish about you bathrooms...... bring your own portable one! The smell was intense and a ton of bugs in the bathroom fyi)

Best camping experience ive ever had! Loved everything about the place! HIGHLY recommend taking your family there! It's first come first serve. And you pay at the pay station!
